Launch START_HERE.exe

You will be presented with 3 options:
Database Stuff
Depth Charts
Game Day Workbook

If you're just starting out, you will need to set up your database, so enter "1"

You'll be asked for the location of your OOTP data files. Just enter the full path. Data files refers to all of the csv's that the game generates when you export to CSV. (See the game manual for information on how to dump data - I encourage you to NOT split large files, and to make sure that OSA ratings are included, and to export all tables.
Mac and Windows allow you to select a directory and copy its path. I recommend you do this and paste it at the prompt.

Then you'll be asked for the database name. If the application doesn't have that database name stored, it will ask you for your connection information. If it finds the database name, then it will begin.


The application will proceed to create the database, make some changes to the csv files and load the data to the database.

The application will create run value tables and use those tables to calculate advanced batting and pitching stats.

You're done! You're now able to create depth charts, game day books, or just query the database to learn interesting things about your league.
